Kate Rayfield is a trauma-informed therapist who offers a safe space to “speak the unspeakable” parts of your story and invite healing into the darkest places. She is sensitive to the way our stories and experiences may find a home in our bodies, and she’s passionate about integrating mind-body awareness into the healing process.

When appropriate, Kate enjoys working with clients who wish to incorporate their faith into counseling.

In addition to practicing at Atlanta Wellness Collective, Kate enjoys walking her dog, trying new restaurants, and exploring antique stores with her husband. Kate is an avid reader and enjoys working with her hands by practicing calligraphy and watercolor painting.
